Answer:

Option a is correct.

The aggregate income is $4,400

Aggregate income is the sum total of income generated by individuals, businesses and government in an economy during a given period.

The income comprises of all returns given to factors of production, like interest, rent, profit and wages. It also includes all income generated by government through taxes.

Putting everything together, the following equation summarizes components of aggregate income.

Aggregate Income =  Bi + Ci + Ri + Li+ (Gi - Tp)

Bi = Business Income (Profit), Ci = Capital Income (interest),  Ri = Rental Income (Rent), Li = Labour Income, Gi = Government Income, Tp = Transfer payment.

= $4,400.
